There have been five different scorers, with Hatter bleachers are expected to be filled.

A testa- sity in a 2-0 loss. Notice how it’s an “unbeaten” streak and not a “winning” streak. That’s because, during the five-game span before BYU, Long Beach won only three games. Not unimpressive, seeing as they are looking for their fourth win against an unfamiliar team. The Panthers have zero history with the California-based team. With a 1 p.m. start on Sept. 21, the brutal sunshine will surely favor the Miami team. Something Long Beach State brings that could create a tougher game is their ability to outscore and keep games against their opponents close. LBS is outscoring teams 7-6. A player that is going to be keyed in on is freshman forward Ashley Gonzales and her four goals on the season, which leads all players in the Big West Conference. Sara Stewart, Nikki Rios and the rest of the Panthers defense have had no trouble in marking big time scorers during games, so this is just another challenge in the face of these seasoned defenders. Long Beach is sitting comfortably at the number two spot in the Big West compared to Stetson sitting in the bottom- tier of the Atlantic Sun Conference. A name expected to be found in the scoring column this weekend is Ashleigh Shim, the senior forward who has found the back of the goal twice. Shim has been itching for a goal during their home-stretch, and when her name is called, she’s shown the ability to be ready. As always, midfield play is so crucial to the Panthers’ success and, if the tale of the tape holds true, opportunities will be created by the likes of Scarlet Montoya, Courtney Phillips and Johanna Volz (two goals on the season).
